Larry Scott's statement for the association is on the WTA site, stipulating non-tolerance but also recognition that a violation has not been established. (Given her retirement, it likely never will as process will not be concluded.) It is worth remembering that there is every indication that Canas, for example, was innocent of the drug charge for which he was penalized, but the ATP will not bend.

Elena D had named Martina as the player she most admired because "she plays smart, like playing chess on court."
One might more expect to see this situation with a younger player--some of those who at player partys and balls often look like little girls playing dress-up as they strive for a facsimileof the worldly sophistication of the classy patrons who host the events. Martina is a mature woman responsible for her choices, but 27 and a tennis career is still at the beginning of a life. Wish her well if her future pursuits.
"That's the way the world works... right now." --Maria Sharapova at 17
